"You look at where you're going
and where you are and it never makes sense,
but then you look back at where you've been and a pattern seems to emerge.

Some spots along the Leh-Alchi-Lamayaru route

The first one would be the Hall of Fame Museum, located just on the outskirts of Leh and maintained by the Indian Army is a treasure house of information on warfare and culture in Ladhak during the past 1000 years. Good place to buy some souvenirs at a reasonable cost.

The Pathar Sahib Gurudwar. Built at a Spot where Nanak Sahib mediated and tamed a local demon. The atmosphere inside is great. At lunch time, a sumptuous lunch is served.

The Confluence of the river Zanskar and the Indus . Here is where all the excitement of rafting on the Indus takes place

The Magnetic Hill-An unbelievable phenomenon. The vehicle in neutral gear parked in a down slope actually moves up-simply unbelievable

Crossing Alchi and on the way to Lamayaru are these strange formations in the hills called moonscapes. Do they resemble the moon surface?
